    Long time listener, first time caller.

    I've enjoyed this thread quite a bit, and hope to share some bottles with you all.

    Is this appropriate beer to bring to make sure I'm not picked last for dodgeball, or do I need to dig deeper?

    Sketchbook barrel aged Brabant;
    Transient can't hop won't hop;
    hop butcher world Columbia;
    perennial sump;
    scratch BA hickory stout;
    A couple recent mikerphone IPAs

    ...and if a drunken euchre tournament commences, that would be amazing.

    I'll do my best to be at the grassy knoll around Noon. I'll have a gray Stormcloud Brewery shirt on - I'm guessing there won't be many people with those on.

    is there a larger, centralized fecal barrel or are we supposed to guess which smaller one everyone will be huddled around?

    What do we do if someone else already has their meet-up planned at the grassy knoll when we're supposed to be there?!?! Just start throwing bottles of vintages at them?

    Dark Matter commented on Instagram that Black Hole Necromancer is $12 and the variants are $15. Mini snifters (if they do them again) are two for $25. The mug I believe is $5 which includes unlimited refills of coffee

    I'm sure this was covered in previous pages (I asked the same question prior to like three rule changes by FFF) but I'm worried about the line to get into the festival on Saturday. I have a group A ticket and group C ticket in my name. My roommate and I are taking the 8am Jaks Tap shuttle down to Munster. Hypothetically getting there around 845... With all the new precautions, the 6am start of checking bags and IDs and whatnot. Do you think that will be enough time for me to get in line and get through by the 11am end time for Group A?
    I'm thinking it sounds like I should be okay, but really don't want to risk it.

    Go to the Donerman food truck and start yelling the lyrics to Juicy by Biggy smalls at the top of your lungs.
